    Riverbank @ Fernvale Resident In ‘Living Nightmare’ After Ceiling ‘Rains’ Rocks And Debris

    Stomp contributor Justin is disappointed that barely one month after moving into his brand new apartment at Riverbank @ Fernvale, things are already falling apart.

    Justin and his family moved into their new home at the condominium in July but before National Day, they discovered that water was leaking through a fake ceiling in their bathroom.

    “We came back home and when one of my children switched on the light to the bathroom, it caused the whole house’s electricity to trip,” said Justin.

    We brought this to the attention of the security guard who gave them the contact number of the contractor for the property.

    Justin said:

    “They came last Friday to saw open the ceiling to investigate what went wrong, then told us they would contact us on Monday (Aug 21) to continue the repair.”

    However, Monday came and went and they heard no word from the company.

    Already disappointed at what had happened, Justin was shocked when debris started ‘raining’ from the hole left in the bathroom’s ceiling.

    “I WhatsApped the contractor but I didn’t get a reply,” said Justin.

    He added that he also tried contacting the developer but has been unsuccessful in getting a response from them.

    “I’m just very disappointed that our brand new home has so many problems.

    “It’s really not fair to us.”

    Justin wanted to share his experience with more people so that someone might be able to relieve his plight.

  • BKE Fatal Accident: Two Motorcyclists Dead, Six Hospitalised, Van Driver Arrested

    BKE Fatal Accident: Two Motorcyclists Dead, Six Hospitalised, Van Driver Arrested

    At least two motorcyclists died and six were injured in a collision involving nine motorcycles and a van along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on Saturday (March 11) afternoon.

    The 25-year-old van driver was arrested for a rash act causing death. His driving licence will be suspended with immediate effect, the police said.

    The two motorcyclists, aged 34 and 50, were pronounced dead at the scene. Six other injured motorcyclists were conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

    Police said they were alerted to the accident at 3.49pm.

    Videos posted on Facebook and circulated on WhatsApp show at least two police tents at the area under the Seletar Expressway (SLE) flyover, towards Woodlands near the SLE exit.

    According to a message circulating on WhatsApp, the motorcyclists had sought shelter under the flyover due to the rain when the accident occurred.

    The video accompanying the message shows six men sprawled on the ground, with two bleeding.

    Another video, posted by Facebook user Aishah Osman, shows police vehicles at the scene, with at least nine motorcycles at the side. Some of them had toppled over and looked damaged. An ambulance was also seen.

    At 6.24pm when ST went down to the scene, the area had been cordoned off by police, and traffic police investigators were on site.

    Relatives of the casualties were also there.

    BKE accident: Motorcycle being removed from site

    One motorcyclist who had been taking shelter from the rain and whose bike had been slightly damaged told ST that “it was chaotic”.

    Investigations are ongoing.

    The police have urged the public not to circulate photos or videos of the deceased, out of respect for the families.
